Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book to give parents, single moms, guardians, pop warner, little league, high school, and junior college players some basic information and tools that to use to increase your chances of earning a college football scholarship. Many football players and parents put more energy into the physical aspect of football and not enough into the academics to meet college standards and handle college classwork. I am writing this book because I don't want you to be the football player who "should have", "would have", or "could have" been an All-American college player on his way to the NFL, but never made it through college because you did not have the academic strength to be a "student" and "athlete". I am writing this book for the junior-college football players in-between college football programs. I know your eligibility clock is ticking and you are eager to transfer to a four-year college. For most people reading this book, you know how big the sport of American football is and I know that there are thousands of opportunities for high school football players to receive some form of scholarship, grants or Aid, to attend a college somewhere. Too often students get stuck somewhere in the process and they could get themselves out with a bit of information.
